Description

  The present invention relates to a disk body insertion portion of a device that uses a disk body, and more particularly to a disk body insertion portion of a device that complies with the technical standard for a game machine. Here, the “disk body” refers to a disk body such as a coin, a substitute coin (token), or a medal for play.

  A disc body such as a medal for play inserted in a disc body slot of a conventional slot machine or the like is guided to a known disc body sorting device, and is discretized by a disc body sorting mechanism of the disc body sorting device. The inserted disc body is divided into a true disc body and a false disc body. The false disk is returned from the return port. The true disc body is detected by a disc body detection sensor installed downstream of the disc body sorting mechanism in the disc body sorting device, and the disc body detection sensor outputs a detection signal. The disc body determined to be a true disc body in the disc body sorting device is guided and stored in a known hopper device arranged downstream of the disc body sorting device. The disc body sorting device includes a return mechanism that guides the inserted disc body to the return port. Details of the configuration and operation of such a conventional disc body sorting apparatus are disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-155206.

  The main control unit of the slot machine receives the detection signal of the disk body detection sensor and counts the number of received perfect disk bodies. The upper limit of the number of disc bodies counted by the main control unit of the slot machine is set in advance, and when the main control unit counts up to the prescribed number, the disc body is prohibited from accepting and counting the disc bodies. Is stopped, a control signal is output, and the return mechanism of the disc body sorting device controls the disc body that has been inserted more than the specified number to the return port. The configuration and operation of such a conventional slot machine is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-21443.

  In recent years, in such a slot machine, a foreign object is inserted into the disc body sorting device from the insertion port, and the disc body detection sensor disposed downstream of the disc body sorting mechanism is caused to malfunction, and in fact, a true disc In spite of the fact that the body is not thrown in, a fraudulent act that causes the slot machine to erroneously count the perfect disc body is being carried out. After such a fraudulent act and causing the slot machine to erroneously count the true disc body, if the person who has committed the fraudulent conducts a return operation, the true disc body for the wrong count is removed from the hopper device. Returned. Or the person who performed the cheating can play only the part of the perfect disc body counted incorrectly, and can obtain an unjust profit.

As a technique for solving the above problems, the disk body guide passage is provided along the disk body guide path for guiding the disk body from the disk body inlet to the disk body detection sensor in the disk body sorting device. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-305103 discloses a technique in which a freely projecting shutter is provided on the disc, and an open / close detection sensor is provided for detecting blockage of the disc body guide passage by the shutter. According to the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-305103, when the slot machine can accept a disk body, the shutter is retracted from the disk body guide path to open the path, and up to a prescribed number of circles Allow the loading of the plate. On the other hand, when the main control unit of the slot machine counts a predetermined number of disk bodies, the slot machine is disabled from accepting the disk bodies, and the shutter projects into the disk body guide passage to close the passage. . At this time, the open / close detection sensor detects that the shutter has closed the disc body guide passage. As a result, in the case where the fraudulent act as described above has been performed, the shutter cannot close the disc body guide passage because the foreign matter has been inserted from the disc body insertion port. An open / close detection sensor detects that the guide passage is not closed, so that it is possible to detect fraud.
JP 2005-305103 A

  By the way, the Association for Secure Electronic Communication Technology (Hotsukyo Co., Ltd.) stated that in terms of technical regulations concerning game machines of Hotsukyo Co., Ltd. It must have a structure that cannot be operated ". However, the slot machine described in the above Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-305103, when the player throws the disc body from the disc body slot while the shutter closes the disc body guide passage, Since the inserted disc body is accumulated in the disc body guide passage while being in contact with the upper surface of the shutter, the accumulated disc body is the disc when the shutter opens the disc body guide passage again. It is automatically guided to a disk body sorting device disposed downstream of the body guide passage. The state that “the accumulated disk body is automatically guided to the disk body sorting device disposed downstream of the disk body guide passage” is the case where “the player directly operates”. It must violate the provision that it must have a structure that cannot be operated. Therefore, the present invention solves such a problem, that is, at the disc inlet, prevents the insertion of foreign matter from the disc inlet and does not depend on the disc player's intention. The purpose is to meet the standards prescribed by the Prefectural Government of Japan by blocking guidance into the equipment.

  In one aspect, the present invention is a disk body insertion portion of a device that uses a disk body, the disk body guide passage extending from a disk body insertion port for loading the disk body, A disk body retaining portion that is located on the side of the disk body insertion port and retains the loaded disk body, and is supported in a freely projecting manner in the disk body guide passage. A shutter lever provided with a rail portion for guiding the disc body retaining portion; and the rail portion of the shutter lever protrudes into the disc body guide passage, and the shutter lever is closed so as to close the disc body guide passage. Driving means for driving, and when the shutter lever closes the disc body guide passage, the rail portion of the shutter lever that has been initially inserted is guided to the disc body retaining portion, After that, the disk body that has been thrown in is the wall surface on the opposite side of the disk body retaining portion and the first thrown disk body The disc body is a disc body insertion portion that is locked between the disc body and the disc body that is retained in the retaining portion, and that neither disc body abuts on the rail portion of the shutter lever and is not accumulated.

  In the above state, unless the player himself removes the second and subsequent locked disk bodies from the disk body loading part and pushes up the disk body that is first loaded and held, The disc body thus made does not enter the disc body guide passage. Therefore, the slot machine of the present invention has a structure that cannot be operated except for the case where the player directly operates, as defined in the technical regulation standards for the game machine of the TATSU-KYO. It shall be in compliance with the provisions that “must be”.

  In the disk body insertion portion of the apparatus using the disk body, a part of the shutter lever forms a part of the disk body guide passage. With such a configuration, the width of the disc body guide passage itself is reduced to close the disc body guide passage, so that the passage can be reliably closed. Furthermore, the number of parts constituting the inlet portion including the solenoid can be reduced, and the entire apparatus can be downsized. In addition, the cost can be reduced due to the reduction in the number of parts.

  Furthermore, in the disk body insertion portion of the apparatus using the disk body, the shutter lever further includes a guide portion formed substantially perpendicular to the rail surface of the rail portion, and the inserted disk body is the rail portion. When the shutter lever is about to open the disc body guide passage when it is on the rail surface of the disc, the disc body inserted between the wall surface of the disc body guide passage facing the guide portion and the guide portion is Hold it.

  With the above configuration, when the inserted disc body is accumulated in contact with the rail portion of the shutter lever or before being guided to the disc body holding portion, the shutter lever erroneously moves the disc body guide passage. Even if it is intended to be opened, the slot machine of the present invention may be operated in addition to the case where the player directly operates, as defined in the technical regulations for the game machine of Hotsukyo. It must conform to the provision that it must have a structure that cannot.

  Further, in the second aspect of the present invention, the disk body loading portion of the apparatus using the disk body according to the present invention is a disk extending from a disk body loading port for loading the disk body. A body guide passage, two disk body retaining portions that are positioned on both sides of the disk body insertion port and retain the loaded disk body, and are supported in a freely projecting manner in the disk body guide passage, A shutter lever having a rail portion for guiding the inserted disc body to the disc body retaining portion, and the rail portion of the shutter lever projecting into the disc body guide passage to close the disc body guide passage Driving means for driving the shutter lever to close the disc body passage when the shutter lever closes the disc body passage. One of the disc bodies is guided to the retaining portion, and the next disc body is placed in the other disc body holding portion. The disc body that has been introduced to and then put in the disc body that has been first put in and retained in the one disc body retaining portion, and the second disc body that has been introduced and retained in the other disc body retaining portion. The disc body is a disc body insertion portion that is locked between the disc body and that does not abut against the rail portion of the shutter lever and is not accumulated.

  With the above-described configuration, by providing a plurality of disc body holding portions, more disc bodies can be held in the disc body feeding portion than the disc body feeding portion of the first aspect.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the slot machine 1. In the slot machine 1, the display window 7 is provided with a plurality of reels 7a to 7c that are rotatably incorporated. Below the display window 7, there are provided a disk body insertion port 9, and various operation buttons such as a bet button 10, a start lever 11, and stop buttons 12a to 12c. Below the lower panel 5, a disk body discharge port 13 for discharging the disk body and a disk body tray 14 are provided. When a player inserts one disc body from the disc body slot 9 at the start of the game, the winning line on the center side is activated, two on three and three on three Five winning active lines including two diagonal lines are activated. In the slot machine 1, a predetermined number of disk bodies (for example, 50 sheets) can be thrown in at the limit. In the slot machine 1, when a player inserts a predetermined number of disc bodies from the insertion slot 9, a shutter lever (not shown) closes the disc body guide passage connected to the insertion slot 9.

  The disk body put into the slot machine 1 enters the disk body guide passage of the disk body selection measure connected to the disk body insertion port, and is classified into a true disk body and a false disk body. . FIG. 2 shows a front view of the disc body sorting apparatus 20. FIG.

  FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are a perspective view and a front view of the disk body loading unit 30, respectively. The disc body insertion unit 30 includes a housing 31 of the disc body insertion unit and a drive unit 32 that is stored below the housing 31 and drives a shutter lever (not shown). A disk body insertion port 9 is formed in a slit shape in the housing 31 of the disk body insertion portion, and the housing 31 of the disk body insertion portion faces the disk body insertion port 9 An extending disc body guide surface 33 is provided. A disc body retaining portion 34 is formed on the side of the disc body slot 9.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the disc body insertion unit 30 is disassembled into a casing 31 and a drive unit 32, and the drive unit 32 is further disassembled into parts. The casing 31 of the disk body insertion unit is as described above. The drive unit includes a solenoid 41, a solenoid case 42, a plunger 45, a plunger presser 46, a spring 49, a shutter lever 50, and an optical sensor 60. The solenoid 41 is accommodated in the solenoid case 42. The solenoid 41 has a plunger 45, and the plunger 45 has a concave portion 45a. The concave portion 45a engages with the plunger receiving portion 47 of the plunger presser 46. Therefore, when the solenoid 41 sucks the plunger 45, the plunger 45 pulls the plunger presser 46 toward the wall surface of the solenoid case 42. A spring 49 is provided between the wall surface of the solenoid case and the plunger presser 46.

  The plunger presser 46 has shutter lever receiving portions 48a and 48b. The shutter lever 50 is formed substantially perpendicular to the shafts 52a and 52b serving as fulcrums, the shafts 51a and 51b that transmit the suction force of the solenoid 41, the rail portion 53 that forms the top of the shutter lever 50, and the rail portion 53. And a guide portion 54 to be operated. The shafts 52a and 52b, which are fulcrums of the shutter lever 50, engage with a bearing 60 formed on the solenoid case 42, and the shutter lever 50 is rotatably supported with the shafts 52a and 52b as fulcrums. On the other hand, the shafts 51a and 51b to which the suction force of the solenoid 41 is transmitted are engaged with bearings 48a and 48b formed on the plunger presser 46. Therefore, when the plunger presser 46 is drawn to the wall surface of the solenoid case 42 as the plunger 45 is attracted by the solenoid 41, the shutter lever 50 rotates about the shafts 52a and 52b. When the shutter lever 50 rotates about the shafts 52a and 52b, the top of the shutter lever 50 protrudes into the first disc body guide passage 21, and the rail portion 53 and the guide portion 54 formed substantially perpendicular to the rail portion 53. However, together with a part of the side wall of the first disc body guide passage 21, a passage to the disc body retaining portion 34 is formed. The curved surface 55 forming a part of the shutter lever 50 fits into the recess of the optical sensor 60 when the solenoid 41 is not operating, and blocks the light from the optical sensor 60. When the shutter lever 50 rotates about the shafts 52a and 52b as the plunger 45 is attracted by the solenoid 41, the curved surface 55 does not block the light of the photosensor 60, and the photosensor 60 is not connected to the top of the shutter lever 50. The protrusion of 1 to the disc body guide passage 21 is detected.

  FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) are a front view and a side cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of the disk body loading unit 31, respectively. FIG. 5 (a) is a diagram showing a state where the solenoid 41 is inoperative. As described with reference to FIG. 4, when the solenoid 41 is not attracting the plunger 45, the plunger 45 does not pull the plunger presser 46 toward the wall surface of the solenoid case 42. Therefore, since the shaft 51 to which the suction force of the shutter lever 50 is transmitted is not drawn toward the wall surface of the solenoid case 42, the shutter lever 50 is not rotated with the shaft 52 as a fulcrum, and remains in an upright state. It is in. In this state, the rail portion 53 constituting the top portion of the shutter lever 50 and the guide portion 54 formed substantially perpendicular to the rail portion 53 do not protrude into the first disc body guide passage 21, A surface 50 a of the vertical shutter lever 50 constitutes a part of the wall surface of the first disc body guide passage 21. In this state, since there is no obstacle in the first disc body guide passage 21, when the inserted disc body 71 is a true disc body, the disc body 71 is discriminated as a disc body. Drops towards device 20

  On the other hand, FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a state where the solenoid 41 is operating. When the solenoid 41 sucks the plunger 45, the plunger presser 46 is attracted to the wall surface of the solenoid case 42 accordingly. Then, the shaft 51 to which the suction force of the shutter lever 50 is transmitted is drawn toward the wall surface of the solenoid case 42, so the shutter lever 50 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. To do. When the shutter lever 50 rotates counterclockwise about the shafts 52a and 52b, the top of the shutter lever 50 protrudes into the first disc body guide passage 21, and is a guide portion formed substantially perpendicular to the rail portion 53. 54 is accommodated in a recess 72 formed in the wall surface 73 of the first disc body guide passage 21. The recess 72 has a shape adapted to the cross section of the guide portion 54. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the wall surface 73 and the wall surface 74 of the first disc body guide passage 21, the rail portion 53 and the guide portion 54 formed perpendicular to the rail portion 53, Together, they form a passage to the disk body retaining portion 34. In this state, the inserted disk body 71 is guided to the disk body storage unit 34 without falling toward the disk body sorting device 20. When the solenoid 41 is not in operation, as shown in FIG. 5A, the curved surface 55 that forms a part of the shutter lever 50 fits into the recess of the optical sensor 60, and the light of the optical sensor 60 is reflected. Shaded. When the solenoid 41 operates, as shown in FIG. 5B, the curved surface 55 does not block the light of the optical sensor 60, and the optical sensor 60 is the first disc body at the top of the shutter lever 50. Projection to the guide passage 21 is detected.

  6 (a) and 6 (b) are cross-sectional views along a plane perpendicular to the AA ′ plane of the disk body loading unit 30, and the loaded disk bodies 71a and 71b are disk bodies. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state of being guided to a holding unit 34.

  As described above, during the operation of the solenoid 41, the shutter lever 50 rotates around the shaft 52, and the top of the shutter lever 50 protrudes into the first disk body guide passage 21 to guide the first disk body. The passage 21 is closed. In this state, the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50 protruding into the first disc body guide passage 21 forms a passage to the disc body retaining portion 34, and the inclined surface descending toward the disc body retaining portion 34. Is forming. The bottom surface 83 of the disc body retaining portion 34 forms a slope that descends from the protruding rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50 toward the wall surface 81 of the disc body retaining portion. Accordingly, when the player inserts the first disc body 71a into the insertion slot 9 in this state, the inserted first disc body 71a is surely guided to the disc body storage section. As described above, the bottom surface 83 of the disc body retaining portion faces the first disc body guide passage 21 so that the retained disc body 71a does not enter the first disc body guide passage 21 again. It has a slope that rises. Therefore, even if the rail portion 53 and the guide portion 54 of the shutter lever 50 that protrude in this state return to the original state again, the retained disc body 71a remains retained in the disc body retaining portion 34. In this state, unless the player himself pushes up the disc body 71a retained in the first disc body guide passage 21, the retained disc body 71a is the first disc body guide passage 21. Do not enter. Therefore, the slot machine of the present invention has a structure that cannot be operated except for the case where the player directly operates, as defined in the technical regulation standards for the game machine of the TATSU-KYO. It shall be in compliance with the provisions that “must be”. That is, the first disk 71a that has been thrown in is prevented from accumulating in a state of being in contact with the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50. It is possible to prevent 71a from automatically entering the first disc body guide passage 21.

  In the state where the first disc body 71a that has been thrown in is retained in the disc body retaining portion 34, it is retained with the wall surface 82 of the disc body inlet 9 that faces the wall surface 81 of the disc body retaining portion 34. A space as shown in FIG. 6 (a) is formed between the disc body 71a. Even if the second disc body 71b is thrown in this state, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the thrown second disc body 71b remains in the disc body retaining portion 34. It is locked between the wall surface 82 of the disk body slot 9 facing the wall surface 81 and the reserved disk body 71a. The inserted second disk 71b does not contact and accumulate on the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50. Therefore, even if the rail portion 53 and the guide portion 54 of the shutter lever 50 that protrude in this state return to the original state again, the second disc body 71b that has been put in is retained with the wall surface 82 of the disc body slot 9 Thus, the first disc body 71a that has been retained is retained in the disc body retaining portion 34. In this state, the player himself removes the locked second disk 71b from the disk slot 9, and the first disk held in the disk holder 34. Unless the body 71a is pushed up, the reserved disk body 71a does not enter the first disk body guide passage 21. Therefore, the slot machine of the present invention has a structure that cannot be operated except for the case where the player directly operates, as defined in the technical regulation standards for the game machine of the TATSU-KYO. It shall be in compliance with the provisions that “must be”.

  Furthermore, the slot machine described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-305103 is used when a player throws one or more disc bodies from the disc body slot with the shutter closing the disc body guide passage. Then, the charged disc body accumulates in the disc body guide passage while being in contact with the upper surface of the shutter. Accordingly, one or a plurality of disc bodies accumulated when the shutter again opens the disc body guide passage are automatically and continuously guided into the disc body guide passage at a time. Therefore, there is a possibility that the disk body is clogged in the disk body guide passage. On the other hand, the disk body slot 9 used in the slot machine of the present invention can prevent such a problem. That is, in the slot machine according to the present invention, the rail portion 53 and the guide portion 54 of the shutter lever 50 are placed in the first disc body guide passage 21 after receiving a predetermined number of perfect disc bodies. The first disc body guide passage 21 protrudes and closes. After that, the inserted disk is retained in the disk retaining part 34, and unless the player himself pushes up the disk retained in the disk retaining part 34, the retained disk is The first disc body guide passage 21 does not enter. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the disk body from being clogged in the apparatus.

  Further, in the slot machine described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-305103, the disc body guide passage and the shutter are composed of completely independent parts. On the other hand, in the slot machine of the present invention, as described above, the solenoid 41 is not operating, and the shutter lever 50 is not rotating with the shaft 52 as a fulcrum and is in an upright state. The surface 50a of the shutter lever 50 constitutes a part of the wall surface of the first disc body guide passage 21. With this configuration, the disc body guide passage 21 itself is narrowed to close the disc body guide passage 21, so that the passage can be reliably closed. Furthermore, the number of parts constituting the inlet portion 30 including the solenoid 41 can be reduced, and the entire apparatus can be downsized. In addition, the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts.

  Here, if the inserted disc body 71 is on the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50 and is guided to the disc body retaining portion 34, the shutter lever 50 erroneously enters the first disc body guide passage. Even when trying to release 21, the disc body insertion part 30 of the slot machine of the present invention is defined in the technical regulation standards concerning the game machines of the TATSU KYOYO Co., Ltd. It must not have a structure that cannot be operated except in the case of doing so. FIG. 7 shows that the inserted shutter disc 71 is in contact with and accumulated on the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50, or the shutter lever 50 accidentally FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state where a disk body guide passage 21 is about to be opened. As shown in FIG. 7, when the inserted disc 71 is on the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50, the shutter lever 50 pivots on the shaft 52 in the clockwise direction in FIG. When the first disc body guide passage 21 is to be opened, the inserted disc body 71 includes the guide portion 54 of the shutter lever 50 and the wall surface of the first disc body guide passage 21. 74, and serves as a stopper that prevents further rotation of the shutter lever 50 in the clockwise direction. Therefore, unless the player removes the sandwiched disc body 71 by his / her own intention, it is impossible for the player to insert an additional disc body into the first disc body guide passage 21. Therefore, even in such a case, the slot machine of the present invention has a structure that cannot be operated except for the case where the player directly operates, as defined in the technical regulation standards for the game machine of the TAO cooperative. It shall comply with the provisions that “must have”. If the height of the guide portion 54 from the rail surface is equal to or greater than the thickness of the inserted disc body (preferably approximately 1.3 times the thickness of the disc body), the disc body is securely sandwiched. Is possible.

  8 (a) to 8 (c) are diagrams showing other embodiments of the present invention. During the operation of the solenoid 41, the shutter lever 50 rotates about the shaft 52, and the rail portion 53 and the guide portion 54 of the shutter lever 50 project into the first disc body guide passage 21 and the first disc body. The guide passage 21 is closed. In this state, the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50 protruding into the first disc body guide passage 21 forms a passage to the disc body storage portions 34a and 34b on both sides. That is, the cross section of the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50 has a chevron shape, and the slope of the left-side downward toward the left disk body retaining portion 34b and the right disk body retaining portion 34a. And a downwardly sloping slope. The bottom surface 83a of the right disc body retaining portion 34a forms a slope that descends from the protruding rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50 toward the wall surface 81a of the right disc body retaining portion. On the other hand, the bottom surface 83b of the left disc body retaining portion 34b forms a slope that descends from the protruding rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50 toward the wall surface 81b of the left disc body retaining portion. Therefore, when the player puts the first disc body 71a into the insertion slot 9 in this state, the inserted first disc body 71a is surely one of the disc body holding portions 34a or 34b. Be guided to. As described above, the bottom surfaces 83a and 83b of the disk body retaining portions 34a and 34b on both sides are the first disk so that the retained disk body 71a does not enter the first disk body guide passage 21 again. It has a slope that rises toward the body guide passage 21.

  When the player puts the second disk 71b into the slot 9 with the first disk 71a being put in the disk holder 34, the second piece The disc body 71b is guided to the other disc body retaining portion opposite to the one disc body retaining portion where the first disc body 71a is retained. As described above, the bottom surfaces 83a and 83b of the disk body retaining portions 34a and 34b on both sides are the first disk so that the retained disk body 71a does not enter the first disk body guide passage 21 again. It has a slope that rises toward the body guide passage 21. Accordingly, the inserted disk bodies 71a and 71b remain held in the disk body holding portions 34a and 34b. In this case, a space as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C is formed between the two reserved disk bodies 71a and 71b. Even if the third disc body 71c is inserted in this state, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the inserted third disc body 71c has two reserved discs. Locked between the bodies 71a and 71b. The inserted third disc 71c does not contact and accumulate on the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50. Therefore, even if the rail portion 53 and the guide portion 54 of the shutter lever 50 that protrude in this state return to the original state again, the inserted third disc body 71c is still two reserved disc bodies 71a and 71b. The first disc body 71a and the second disc body 71b that are retained are retained in the disc body retaining portions 34a and 34b. In this state, the player himself removes the locked third disk body 71c from the disk body insertion slot 9, and the first sheet held in the disk body holding portions 34a and 34b. Unless the disc body 71a and the second disc body 71b are pushed up, the reserved first disc body 71a and the second disc body 71b are placed in the first disc body guide passage 21. Does not enter. Therefore, the slot machine of the present invention has a structure that cannot be operated except for the case where the player directly operates, as defined in the technical regulation standards for the game machine of the TATSU-KYO. It shall be in compliance with the provisions that “must be”.

  Further, also in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the surface 50a of the shutter lever 50 can be configured as a part of the wall surface of the first disc body guide passage 21. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the shutter lever 50 tries to open the first disc body passage 21 when the inserted disc body 71 is on the rail portion 53 of the shutter lever 50. In this case, it is possible to configure the inserted disc body 71 so that the shutter lever 50 is sandwiched between the guide portion 54 and the wall surface 74 of the first disc body passage 21, so that the player It is impossible for a player to insert an additional disk body into the first disk body guide path 21 unless the sandwiched disk body 71 is removed by his / her own intention. Therefore, the slot machine according to the above-mentioned embodiment is defined in the technical standard for the game machine of the BTS, “a structure that cannot be operated except when the player directly operates. It shall comply with the provision of “must have”.
